Equality of Opportunity in Education and Training - Student Loans Program - Canada

Canada Student Loans Program (CSLP)

Under this Program, the Canada Study Grant gives women the opportunity to apply in certain fields of doctoral studies for a grant of up to $3,000 a year for a maximum of three years. The fields encompass disciplines in which women have historically been under-represented:

• engineering and applied sciences;
• agriculture and biological sciences;
• mathematics and physical sciences;
• arts, social sciences and related fields;
• dental specialities;
• physical education; and
• law and jurisprudence.

In addition, effective August 1, 1998 Canada Study Grants for students with dependents were made available to full-time and part-time students with dependents, to assist them with their education costs. Eligible students may qualify for grants of up to $3,120 per loan year.
